ALBERT ALONZO "BUCK" HENDRIX
Mulhearn Funeral Home

West Monroe, LA

Graveside Services for Mr. Albert Alonzo "Buck" Hendrix, 88, of West Monroe, 
LA will be held at 10:00 A.M. Saturday, September 12, 2009 at the Hasley 
Cemetery Memorial Pavilion with Rev. Danny Chance and Daryl Hendrix 
officiating. Interment will be in the Hasley Cemetery under the direction of 
Mulhearn Funeral Home West Monroe, LA.

Born September 6, 1921, Mr. Hendrix went to be with the Lord on September 10, 
2009. We all knew him as Uncle Buck. Uncle Buck joined the United States Navy 
at the age of 18. He went to boot camp in San Diego, CA in August 1940 and was 
assigned to the U.S.S. Blue, a Destroyer, from 1940 until 1942. This ship was 
moored behind the U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor during the raid on December 
7, 1941 and was able to get out unharmed. The U.S.S. Blue was reassigned to 
Guadalcanal, where it was struck by a Japanese torpedo. Uncle Buck was quick 
to say, they did not sink the ship they only disabled it. In August 1946, he 
was Honorably Discharged from the Navy in New Orleans, LA. In 1948, he re-
enlisted and served on the U.S.S. Aucillia, an Oil Tanker, and sailed around 
the world five times. On July 1952, he was Honorably Discharged at Norfolk, 
VA, at the age of 31 and returned home. He worked for the City of Monroe at 
the Electricity Generating Power Plant, where he retired from. He is preceded 
in death by his parents, Albert Benjamin and Lillie Baugh Hendrix; brothers 
and sisters, Gertie Hendrix Jackson, Joseph Lucien Hendrix, Louise Hendrix 
Jackson, Charles Ray Hendrix, Lois Hendrix Beard, Louis E. Hendrix, Captola 
Hendrix Simpson, and Sebastian "Dick" Hendrix; his first wife, Geneva 
Herlevich Hendrix and his second wife, Nita Landrineau Hendrix.

He is survived and loved by numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society or to the Northeast 
Louisiana War Veterans Home.

He proudly and honorably served our country though he rarely spoke of his 
service. He is missed by all of us.
